Palo Alto High School
For the 2011-12 school year, PiE provides $414,811 in
flexible dollars for Paly, based on generous donations from parents and community
members. Funds are allocated to key school priorities, including:
- PiE dollars pay for an additional counselor at Paly, to enhance Paly’s guidance
services and increase connections with students, as well as other guidance staff
(38%)
- PiE funds help support the Teacher Advisor program, reducing the number of
students seen by each teacher, as well 100% of the coordinator costs for the Teacher
Advisor program for all students at Paly (30%)
- PiE funds pay for upper-class Link Crew to facilitate orientation and mentor
connections for all freshmen, for community outreach, and to extend hours in the
Academic Resource Center (14%)
- PiE dollars fund College and Career Counseling, including supporting a full-time
credentialed college counselor and providing college essay workshops (6%)
- The remaining funds will be spend on enhancing electives, in particular on an aide
for Biotechnology, on technical electives support, and on Paly’s outstanding
community service program (11%)
"PiE money is the lifeline for Paly that keeps us in a
position to enhance students' experiences in a state of uncertain budgets every
year! The financial support allows us to be innovative and engage students in ways
that have lifelong benefits. A sincere ‘thank you’ from myself and the Paly
community for the continued support."
– Phil Winston, Paly Principal
